The Magic of the Sculpture Park: A Day at Benesse House

The Seto Inland Sea provides the backdrop for the porous sculpture

Designed by Tadao Ando, this architectural marvel on Naoshima seamlessly blends with nature. The Benesse House Museum (ミュージアム) showcases contemporary art, including its outdoor seaside Sculpture Park, through an immersive indoor and outdoor experience. Overlooking the Seto Inland Sea, it offers breathtaking panoramic views, making it a unique and memorable destination for art and architecture enthusiasts.

On 11/29/2024, a cloudy day, we visited Benesse House Museum and its Sculpture Park on the seaside. The museum itself displays drawings, paintings, prints, and other artworks by artists in the collection. However, the outdoor sculptures that seamlessly blend with nature were most attractive to some visitors like me.
